“OUR for 6th grade math has been amazing. The tasks are rigorous and the curriculum addresses the different levels of the classroom. It is easy to differentiate within the curriculum components. It has been so helpful to have a digital format especially with pivoting to online during the school year.”

— Tatum Williams, Math Facilitator
Greenwood School District

“This year has been a struggle with our District Adopting a new curriculum and the onset of the Pandemic. Open Up Resources helped our teachers push the rigor needed for our students to show growth in their content. Our classes are showing wonderful growth this year in Middle School and we feel confident that OUR 6-8 Math is a big part of this success.”

— Melanie Blaum, District Math Instructional Coach
Union Elementary School District

“The beauty of OUR 6-8 Math is the depth of thinking and challenge of the curriculum through rich learning experiences. Our students have gained a greater level of conceptual understanding in mathematics that allows them to tackle unknown mathematics challenges with confidence.”

— Charlotte LaHaye, Curriculum Coordinator
Schools of the Sacred Heart, Grand Coteau

“Open Up Resources has given me the time and support I need to be the best teacher for my students. Open up resources is low-floor, high-ceiling for both teachers and students. I am three years into using the curriculum and I still have tons of room to grow as an educator. The curriculum has the embedded supports I need to continue to make that growth.”

— Holly Alger, Middle School Math Teacher

“During the 1st year of implementation of the OUR/MVP high school curriculum, the number of F’s were cut in half, the amount of growth on the Math Inventory was quadrupled, and the percentage proficient on our state exams increased for our at-rish high school.
